MUMBAI:
Some stories must be told as they can transform any life they touch. Such is the life story of serial entrepreneur Revathi Roy, effectively turned into a biography “Who is Revathi Roy?” by Dr. Swati Lodha and published by an upcoming publishing house, Publishing Infinity (PI). The biography was launched by actor Raveena Tandon and Samina Vaziralli, Executive Vice Chairperson, CIPLA amongst an august gathering of people from different walks of Revathi’s life.
The launch of the book at Crossword, Kemps Corner was preceded by an interesting discussion between the author Dr. Swati Lodha & the subject, Revathi Roy which was insightfully moderated by Sourav Majumdar, Editor, Fortune Magazine.
In the words of the author, Dr. Swati Lodha, “As an author, it is a pleasure and a privilege to weave a transformational story that can stand any test of time. Revathi Roy’s story is a masterclass in ‘how to use grit and glee to galvanise your life. Revathi Roy is semi famous, entrepreneurially famous, not celebrity famous. Hence, the book is titled ‘Who is Revathi Roy?’, a google search question – popping in the heads of people while picking this book, and answered – on reading it. Revathi’s story is predictable in the cliched sense, keeping it relatable. But wait, it is breathtaking in the phoenix sense, turning it phenomenal. This is the journey of an Indian woman who traversed from a privileged child to a protected partner to a penalised prisoner to a exponential entrepreneur. In other words, a riches to rags to revolution story.”
Revathi’s revelry and resilience will inspire each reader to aim for something more than a cookie – cutter life, to let the creativity flow and to fail well. Revathi’s is an action story, packed with decisions – right, not so right and wrong. These decisions would enable the readers to navigate their lives better. Revathi’s is a riveting story, loaded with fun and love – easy, not so easy and tough. These emotions would enthral the readers to lower their guard and live fluidly.
‘Driving cars’ has been an undying passion for Revathi. Driving has defined and refined her life, constantly. Hence, the chapters of the book are titled as ‘The Seat- belt’, ‘The Ignition’, ‘The Speed-breaker’ and so on.
“I decided to share my story to motivate all the women who wish to change their lives,” said a visibly emotional Revathi Roy at the launch of her biography. “It is a delight to be a part of Revathi’s journey who is synonymous with women empowerment,” said Raveena Tandon, the noted actor while releasing the book.
“The story is truly inspirational about resilience against all odds,” said Samina Vaziralli, Executive Vice Chairperson, CIPLA while expressing her delight at the launch of the book.
The book will inspire every reader to push the envelope of their lives, higher & deeper. This book will ignite every reader’s imagination to move beyond the boundaries. This book will warn every reader to be little discreet in decision making and financial planning. The diva of ‘driving’ is ‘driving change’ today. She is ac- celerating on the road of life from surviving to thriving with a steady smile.
